Unlocking the Power of Data Governance: Key Takeaways for the AI Era

Added Wednesday 24 September 2025

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, organisations are constantly reminded of the importance of data quality—especially as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes central to business strategy. However, Simon believes that the conversation needs to shift from a narrow focus on data quality to a broader, more impactful approach for data governance that starts with a Data Catalogue. Also, what does "get your data ready for AI" actually mean? 

Simon Fryett, MD SmallNet, talks through these and other topics surrounding modern data governance and the importance of getting trusted data into your AI. 

Simon also explains how working with tools like IBM Knowledge Catalog, companies can adopt a catalogue approach quickly, which in turn addresses issues around agility and the costs of moving data around your organisation.
